Synopsis
Ismaël has always been in love with his own mother. Having since his childhood been traumatized by this impossible love, many years later, he still cannot forget this passion which ate away at him so much. Today, he seems to have found a solution: Laura. Laura is the exact double of his mother and so, the only way for him to live this speechless love. Haunted by the memory of his mother and disturbed by Laura's resemblance, Ismaël no longer makes the difference between dream and reality.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
